Case Study

Andy Casagrande

-Andy Casagrande-

Copyright contract negotiation

Andy Casagrande was asked by a large camera company to be the subject of a short biographical piece of him. Nimia’s legal team provided legal consultation and negotiation in order to provide Andy ownership over the footage that was captured. He now has the ability to freely license that same material for additional income.

Jacques de Vos

-Jacques de Vos –

Copyright Issue

Jacques had previously filmed world record freediver Natalia Molchanova, who later tragically died on August 2, 2015. With the media scrambling to cover the story, five major media/news corporations used Jacques’s footage of Molchanova without first obtaining a license. This was done even though Jacques has the footage readily available for licensing and the footage contained his personal watermark.

Upthink Lab

-Upthink Lab –

Copyright Issue

Upthink Lab discovered his footage had been used by a large media/weather company online without first obtaining a license. Nimia’s legal team was first able to notify the company to have it removed temporarily while a formal license contract was put in place. Upthink Lab was then paid the appropriate license fee for the terms of use.
